The Cycle

the cycle seems to be the same
for the addictions all of us face
doesn't matter what your drug of choice is
first comes the stage of seeking relief or
wanting escape from the pressure cooker
that this world can be
then comes the stage of indulgence
feeling better for a little while
riding high on cloud nine
or sometimes just feeling fine
then slowly that feeling wears off
as realization sets in
you have indulged again
yet the world is still the same
time for another escape
time for another indulgence
press repeat  
until you break that cycle
and turn all that energy
around into something
positive.......
